Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Strontium ranelate (SrR) is an oral pharmaceutical agent for osteoporosis. In recent years, numerous unwanted side effects of oral SrR have been revealed. Therefore, its clinical administration and applications are limited. Hereby, this study aims to develop, formulate, and characterize an effective SrR carrier system for spinal bone regeneration. METHODS Herein, glycol chitosan with hyaluronic acid (HA)-based nanoformulation was used to encapsulate SrR nanoparticles (SrRNPs) through electrostatic interaction. Afterward, the poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA)-based hydrogels were used to encapsulate pre-synthesized SrRNPs (SrRNPs-H). The scanning electron microscope (SEM), TEM, rheometer, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to characterize prepared formulations. The rabbit osteoblast and a rat spinal decortication models were used to evaluate and assess the developed formulation biocompatibility and therapeutic efficacy. RESULTS In vitro and in vivo studies for cytotoxicity and bone regeneration were conducted. The cell viability test showed that SrRNPs exerted no cytotoxic effects in osteoblast in vitro. Furthermore, in vivo analysis for new bone regeneration mechanism was carried out on rat decortication models. Radiographical and histological analysis suggested a higher level of bone regeneration in the SrRNPs-H-implanted groups than in the other experimental groups. CONCLUSION Local administration of the newly developed formulated SrR could be a promising alternative therapy to enhance bone regeneration in bone-defect sites in future clinical applications.

Stent coating by electrospinning with chitosan/poly-cyclodextrin based nanofibers loaded with simvastatin for restenosis prevention. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2020; 150:156-167. [PMID: 32179100 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejpb.2019.12.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2019] [Revised: 11/25/2019] [Accepted: 12/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
The main cause of failure of angioplasty stenting is restenosis due to neointimal hyperplasia, a too high proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMC). The local and sustained delivery of selective pleiotropic drugs to limit SMC proliferation seems to be the hopeful solution to minimize this post surgery complication. The aim of this study is to develop a stent covered by nanofibers (NFs) produced by electrospinning, loaded with simvastatin (SV), a drug commonly used for restenosis prevention. NFs were prepared from the electrospinning of a solution containing SV and a mixture of chitosan (cationic) and β-cyclodextrin (CD) polymer (anionic) which form together a polyelectrolyte complex that makes up the NFs matrix. First, the SV/CD interactions were studied by phase solubility diagram, DRX and DSC. The electrospinning process was then optimized to cover a self-expandable NiTiNOL stent and the mechanical resistance of the NFs sheath upon its introduction inside the delivery catheter was considered, using a crimper apparatus. The morphology, coating thicknesses and diameters of nanofibers were studied by scanning electron microscopy. The SV loading rates on the stents were controlled by the electrospinning time, and the presence of SV in the NFs was confirmed by FTIR. NFs stability in PBS pH 7.4 buffer could be improved after thermal post-treatment of NFs and in vitro release of SV in dynamic conditions demonstrated that the release profiles were influenced by the presence of CD polymer in NFs and by the thickness of the NFs sheath. Finally, a covered stent delivering 3 µg/mm2 of SV within 6 h was obtained, whose efficiency will be investigated in a further in vivo study.

Abstract
Cardiovascular complications are leading causes of most fatalities. Coronary artery disease and surgical failures contribute to the death of the majority of patients. Advanced research in the field of medical devices like stents has efficiently resolved these problems. Clinically, drug-eluting stents have proven their efficacy and safety compared to bare metal stents, which have problems of in-stent restenosis. However, drug-loaded stents coated with polymers have shown adverse effects related to the stability and deterioration of the polymer coating over time. This results in late stent thrombosis and immunogenicity. These reasons laid the foundation for the development of non-polymeric drug-eluting stents. This review focuses on non-polymer drug-eluting stents loaded with different drugs like anti-inflammatory agents, anti-thrombotic, anti-platelet agents, immune suppressants and others. Surface modification techniques on stents like crystalline coating; microporous, macroporous, and nanoporous coatings; and chemically modified self-assembled monolayers are described in detail. There is also an update on clinically approved products and those under development.

Abstract
The concept of click chemistry (CC), first introduced by K.B. Sharpless, has been widely adopted for use in drug discovery, novel drug delivery systems (DDS), polymer chemistry, and material sciences. In this review, we outline novel aspects of CC related to drug discovery and drug delivery, with a brief overview of molecular mechanisms underlying each click reaction commonly used by researchers, and the main patents that paved the way for further diverse medicinal applications. We also describe recent progress in drug discovery and polymeric and carbon material-based drug delivery for potential pharmaceutical applications and advancements based on the CC approach, and discuss some intrinsic limitations of this popular conjugation reaction. The use of CC is likely to significantly advance drug discovery and bioconjugation development.

Abstract
Albumin nanoparticles are well-known as effective drug carriers used to deliver hydrophobic chemotherapeutic agents. Albumin nanoparticles encapsulating curcumin and doxorubicin were fabricated using slightly modified nanoparticle albumin-bound (nab™) technology, and the synergistic effects of these two drugs were examined. Albumin nanoparticles encapsulating curcumin, doxorubicin, and both curcumin and doxorubicin were prepared using a high pressure homogenizer. The sizes of albumin nanoparticles were ∼130nm, which was considered to be suitable for the EPR (enhanced permeability and retention) effect. Albumin nanoparticles gradually released drugs over a period of 24h without burst effect. To confirm the synergistic effect of two drugs, in vitro cytotoxicity assay was performed using B16F10 melanoma cells. The cytotoxic effect on B16F10 melanoma cells was highest when co-treated with both curcumin and doxorubicin compared to single treatment of either curcumin and doxorubicin. The combined index calculated by medium-effect equation was 0.6069, indicating a synergistic effect. Results of confocal laser scanning microscopy and fluorescence-activated cell sorting corresponded to results from an in vitro cytotoxicity assay, indicating synergistic cytotoxicity induced by both drugs. A C57BL/6 mouse model induced by B16F10 lung metastasis was used to study in vivo therapeutic effects. When curcumin and doxorubicin were simultaneously treated, the metastatic melanoma mass in the lungs macroscopically decreased compared to curcumin or doxorubicin alone. Albumin nanoparticles encapsulating two anticancer drugs were shown to have an effective therapeutic result and would be an excellent way to treat resistant lung cancers.

Abstract
One of the complications of bronchotracheal cancer is obstruction of the upper airways. Local tumor resection in combination with an airway stent can suppress intraluminal tumor (re)growth. We have investigated a novel drug-eluting stent coating for local release of the anticancer drug gefitinib. A polyurethane (PU) sandwich construct was prepared by a spray coating method in which gefitinib was embedded between a PU support layer of 200μm and a PU top layer of 50-200μm. Gefitinib was either embedded in the construct as small crystals or as gefitinib-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres (MSP). The drug was incorporated in the PU constructs with high recovery (83-93%), and the spray coating procedure did not affect the morphologies of the embedded microspheres as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy and fluorescence microscopy analysis. PU constructs loaded with gefitinib crystals released the drug for 7-21days and showed diffusion based release kinetics. Importantly, directional release of the drug towards the top layer, which is supposed to face the tumor mass, was controlled by the thicknesses of the PU top layer. PU constructs loaded with gefitinib microspheres released the drug in a sustained manner for >6months indicating that drug release from the microspheres became the rate limiting step. In conclusion, the sandwich structure of drug-loaded PLGA microspheres in PU coating is a promising coating for airway stents that release anticancer drugs locally for a prolonged time.
